I have assembled a new computer , specs are i3 - 3220 , 1tb HDD , 4 GD DDR3 , integrated graphic card , 200 W PSU . The avg temp for cpu is showing 72' C . is this temp ok or its too high . Sometime it shuts down automatically. How can i reduce the temp as i have gone through specs of i3 in intels website it shows temp as 52' C.

Prashant u must be from india

We in india have many low end cases i think that is the reason get the fans for the case
Best in india are cooler master 90cfm fans arnd 400rs on flipkart

Or if u have a decent case then get a hyper 212 evo arnd 2600-2800 rs

Does really my computer require 500 W SMPS ? I am using Zebronics ... on it its written 450W but i dont think so that its more than 200 W . Do we have any means by which we can find out the real wattage?
 
There is nothin like real wattage

Just check the amps of current
If multiple 12v output then total it and subtract 5-7 amp

500w be an upgrade with which u can power nearly any graphics card or cpu


These smps like zebronics are low frade and can harm the system in long run

One hook of my cpu fan was not fitted properly ....... I unhooked and hooked all four pins properly now .... after restaring the pc the temp now showing at 46' C . Wow what a diff just one slight loose hook can make.
